Alina Habba SUED by Newark Mayor for False Arrest and Defamation

Newark Mayor Raz Baraka is fighting back after a shocking encounter with ICE agents landed him in handcuffs. In this video, we break down the dramatic sequence of events that led to his arrest and the explosive lawsuit he's now filed against U.S. Attorney Alina Habba.

It all started when Mayor Baraka visited an ICE detention center with three members of Congress. While lawmakers are allowed entry, Baraka was denied access and later arrested—a move he says was politically and racially motivated. The lawsuit claims false arrest, malicious prosecution, and defamation, accusing Habba—yes, the same one from Trump's legal team—of knowingly using a false affidavit to justify the arrest.

Mayor Baraka's legal battle isn't just personal—it's political, racial, and national. With cameras rolling, the image of a Black mayor in cuffs became a symbol of deeper systemic issues in federal law enforcement under Trump-aligned officials.
